|
|
WHEREAS, The remarkable talent and dedication of Booker High |
|
|
School quarterback Hunter Lile have earned him the title of |
|
|
Football Player of the Year from the Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In just two seasons at the high school level, Mr. |
|
|
Lile has already established the Texas Panhandle record for career |
|
|
passing, amassing a total of 7,120 yards; during his sophomore year |
|
|
in 2012, he led his team to the playoffs for the first time in school |
|
|
history and helped the Kiowas advance to the regional round of the |
|
|
postseason while setting a new 1A single-season standard for |
|
|
passing with 3,996 yards; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, An impressive all-around athlete who plays both |
|
|
offense and defense, Mr. Lile made the All-District first team as a |
|
|
linebacker, but his true artistry emerges after he takes the snap |
|
|
from center; his stellar performances garnered several accolades |
|
|
from the Amarillo Globe-News, including recognition as 1A Player of |
|
|
the Year, as Super Team Offensive Player of the Year, and as signal |
|
|
caller for the 1A Golden Spread team; in addition, the Associated |
|
|
Press made him a second team All-State selection, and the United |
|
|
States Marine Corps designated him the Elite Warrior of the Year for |
|
|
West Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hunter Lile has distinguished himself as an |
|
|
exceptional player who is poised for further glory in the years |
|
|
ahead, and he is indeed deserving of this prestigious award; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Hunter Lile on being named Football |
|
|
Player of the Year by the Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame and extend |
|
|
to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Lile as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
